  • Page 19: Operation

    OPERATION INTENDED USE This sweeper is designed solely for use in construction cleanup, road maintenance and similar operations. Use in any other way is considered contrary to intended use. Compliance with and strict adherence to operation, service and repair conditions as specified by the manufacturer, are essential elements of intended use. STARTING AND STOPPING THE SWEEPER The sweeper uses the prime mover hydraulic flow to operate. To start the brush, turn on the prime mover auxiliary hydraulics. To stop the brush, turn off the auxiliary hydraulic flow. To avoid motor damage, do not stop the sweeper at high engine speed.

  • Page 20: Operation

    OPERATION DANGER! Avoid electrical shock. Stay away from overhead wires. WHILE OPERATING SWEEPER • When operating sweeper, adhere to all government rules, local laws and other professional guidelines for your sweeping application. • Avoid excessive downward pressure on brush sections to prevent excessive wear. A 2 to 4 inch (5-10 cm) wide pattern is sufficient for most applications. Ensure that the sweeper is level to prevent uneven wear pattern.

  • Page 21: Brush Pattern Adjustment

    OPERATION WARNING! AVOID SERIOUS INJURY. Check for large objects that could harm operator or others if thrown by sweeper. Remove items before operating. FIGURE #1 BRUSH PATTERN ADJUSTMENT A properly leveled brush offers the best sweeper performance. Move the sweeper to a dusty, flat surface. Set the prime mover’s parking brake. Leave the engine running.

  • Page 22: Operating Tips

    OPERATION OPERATING TIPS Vary brush, engine and travel speeds to match sweeping conditions. LARGE AREAS When sweeping a large area, such as a parking lot, make a path down the middle and sweep to both sides. This reduces the amount of debris that the sweeper must sweep to one side. SNOW Fast brush speeds and slow travel speeds are needed to sweep snow effectively.

  • Page 23: Storage / Removal From Storage

    OPERATION WARNING! Never raise the sweeper more than a few feet off the ground. The sweeper can tip back or the prime mover can tip over causing death or serious injury. NOTICE! Do not store the sweeper with weight on the brush. Weight will deform the bristles, destroying the sweeping effectiveness.
